I have resurfaced

Oh hello there.  Yes, we are all still alive and well.  My blogging has fallen to the wayside once again but I am determined to keep this thing going.

I started this post weeks and weeks ago.  Emerson's newborn pics! A mere two to four weeks in these pics, she's now a whole seven weeks old as of today. I keep telling my wee ones to stay little forever but they refuse to listen to me.  As if I know anything.  

Scroll through the 938 pictures for more Emerson info :) 

Emerson's one month doc appointment proved that she is growing just as she should be.  Up an entire TWO POUNDS since birth (now 9.3lbs) and TWO INCHES (now 21 inches) she's clocking in at the 50th percentile.  Still our littlest peanut!

At one month Emerson enjoys being held, her activity mat, being awake for 10 to 20 minutes tops, cuddling, falling asleep easily, and being our least difficult child (by far).  When we have to leave the house for preschool, outings like the park to keep children (and mother) sane, or grocery store trips, Emerson is pretty easy going with being moved from crib to car.  Baby acne sprouted up pretty early, before two weeks. leading me to think we had some sort of allergy on our hands, but finally at 7 weeks it's clearing up.

Look how small she is compared to the room! 

Thanks for being the sweet little thing you are miss E!

The big girls are still Team Emerson.  Parker is a natural nurturer.  Always has been.  Pic below is case in point.  Emerson is fussy and it's Parker to the rescue.  Rocking, soothing voice, and songs. Who knew a four year old could be such a great helper?!

While Teagan loves E, the second those cries start T wants absolutely nothing to do with the baby.  Teagan makes this known by pushing Emerson away.  Which is exactly why we stay very close by when T is holding E ;)

Sweet baby E :)
